Canadian fast-food company
Tim Hortons is testing a spinach and
egg white handheld pie for breakfast at its 84 restaurants in the Columbus area with an eye to
launching it chain-wide. The empanada-like pies are aimed at health-conscious customers (they
contain only 210 calories) who are on the go. They cost $2.29 each.

"We're so mobile these days," said Brynn Burton, spokeswoman for the company's U.S.
operations, which are based in Dublin. "We're rushing to work. So you're on your iPhone in your
left hand, and you're eating your breakfast in your right hand."

The chain plans to begin testing a handheld pie made with chorizo on March 18 in the Columbus
market, which opened stores at 505 E. Livingston Ave. and
Huntington Park in the Arena
District last year, Burton said.
